We're doing something a little different for this event, as we focus on the messages and strategies needed to win power—and then use it to build a political economy that supports freedom, opportunity, and shared prosperity.
On Wednesday, June 24th, we are hosting a day-long convening on breaking the power of the oligarchy and rebuilding it for all of us.
We hope you'll join us. RSVP to attend in person or virtually here:

The agentic web is here.
A new report from @Sally_Hubbard argues policymakers should:
• Apply fiduciary duties to AI agents
• Ban exploitative surveillance
• Require transparency + auditing
• Promote competition
Before Big Tech locks up the future. https://t.co/deMd4KtGDI
Glad to hear it.
We've described AICOA as "as vital to rebuilding a more competitive and open Internet and more democratic markets for news and debate." https://t.co/yA4XQwNKaV
When dominant firms use loyalty programs to discourage competition, farmers lose choices and prices go up.
A notable development from DOJ's ongoing scrutiny of the seed industry: https://t.co/2BNrbToWaw
On Wednesday, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority said it will force Google to give publishers real control over whether their content powers AI-generated search summaries.
It's a big deal.

Southwest’s recent exit from O’Hare shows the once-competitive airport risks becoming another monopoly hub, a sign of the failures of airline (and airport) deregulation. https://t.co/f0o3xkqEzr
NEW: To take control of airport gates & squeeze out competitors, United Airlines attempted to unsafely overschedule flights at O’Hare for the summer of 2026.
Today, we joined @demandprogress, @econliberties, @ConsumerFed, @consumeraction, to urge government regulators to probe United’s conduct & examine structural failures of the current system of gate allocation at our airports.

BIG NEWS in the UK as its competition regulator announces Google will need to adhere to new conduct requirements in their use of publisher content for AI Overviews.

Millions of Americans are beginning to rely on AI agents.
But if those agents are controlled by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Meta, whose interests are they really serving?
NEW REPORT from OMI Senior Fellow @Sally_Hubbard: https://t.co/deMd4KtGDI
"Despite the recent formation of a food antitrust task force, the Trump administration has largely gutted government capacity to take on food corporations, and it walked back some moderate steps to change harmful business practices."

In the @nytopinion today with @sandeepvaheesan making the case for genuine antitrust action in the food system, not just rhetoric. https://t.co/oCR2JUXHP9
"The entire U.S. food system is remarkably consolidated, exploitative and fragile."
In @nytopinion, @clairekelloway & @sandeepvaheesan explain what's gone wrong with our food system & the big changes needed to fix it. https://t.co/CS3g15M2sl

This @JeffBezos interview was deeply misleading on so many counts, but chief among them is this: newspapers aren't going to magically become profitable unless we address the system that allows dominant platforms to stand between the news and revenue.
